I hit a horse tonight.
Well driving home from a 13.5 hour shift at my job, I turned around a corner and standing there in the road was a horse. I slammed on my brakes and into it as well, it rolled onto my hood let out a LOUD whinny and trotted off. I sat there for a second and pulled into the nearest driveway. I got out as people were getting out of the house, I told them I had hit their horse, they said no I hit the neighbors horse (I drive by this house a lot and they do have horse's, there's were safe in the back). They called the police and since it was out of the city limits the state and county troops had to come down, they did the accident report, all the while the one I had hit was standing in the yard looking pitifully. It let out a another loud whinny and fell to the ground, but go up again. There was another horse and a donkey running around up and down the highway playing dodge the car for a bit. The troopers got them corralled up and said that people hit horses all the time, I've dodged a lot of deer and cows one time but 1,400 pound horses were new to me. I got the accident report, the people who owned the horses never showed up, might have been out of town, the guy is the tennis coach at the university I work at and the horse is a show-horse and worth big bucks. Sigh it was really pretty calm and I feel worse for hitting it then the damaged hood of my truck (only 20 payments left). Grump, this is how my life is going right now, really strange and now I'm off to bed.
